What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same basic sequence in Bend, Oregon: a teen gunman opened fire at an elementary school, killed three children and a teacher, and was then shot by someone at the scene. The AP keeps the focus on the incident itself and says the shooter was pursued into the school, while CBS News frames the story through parents speaking out and adds that one child at the school was not injured, which appears only in its extract.
